I am grateful for the educational opportunities I have received and am appreciative for the generous investment of numerous individuals. In turn, I seek to invest in the education of my students. For each course, I diligently prepare to challenge students to learn the subject and support them to do so. While expectations are set high, I value every student and encourage each to achieve her or his full potential, even those who might struggle with the material. While it is difficult to get to know every student in a larger lecture, I welcome students to stop by my office for more personal instruction.

In addition to classroom learning, I promote student engagement with various social and environmental issues. Some of my most meaningful student interactions have come during discussions on how a student plans to become involved in a larger community by addressing a particular problem. I hope to continue not only to prepare students for their chosen profession, but also to promote their involvement with the needs of the world around them.

My philosophies regarding the provision of patient care and student education run parallel. I feel that patients and their needs ought to be the primary focus of everyone working within the healthcare system. For example, pharmacists should place meeting their patients' drug-related needs as their foremost responsibility within their practice. Likewise, students and their educational needs should be at the center of everything a college does. With this focus on student needs, a strong and meaningful educational experience can be delivered that will prepare graduates for a lifetime of contribution to their chosen profession/career and society in general.

Pharmacy education has been a major focus of Dr. Lindblad's professional activities for a number of years, and he looks forward to bringing this experience to the new School of Pharmacy at Husson University. Dr. Lindblad received a B.S. degree in Chemistry at the University of Maine followed by an M.S. degree, also in Chemistry, from Cleveland State University. His doctoral degree in Pharmacology & Toxicology was obtained at the University of Rhode Island before moving south of the Mason-Dixon Line for a post-doctoral position at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond.

Dr. Lindblad's first academic position was in the Department of Surgery at the Medical College of Virginia where he developed his interest in translational biomedical research. He then went on to positions in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Boston. In addition to these academic appointments, Dr. Lindblad was the Founding Co-Editor and Editor-in-Chief of the biomedical journal Wound Repair and Regeneration for 15 years.

Along with a wealth of teaching experience, he is an established investigator in the area of dermal tissue injury, repair and regeneration. Over the past 25 years, he has received numerous grants and contracts from the National Institutes of Health and private corporations to support this research. Recently these studies have focused on impaired healing in individuals with diabetes. These studies lead to the development of a novel wound healing device that uses human cells to modify the wound environment in dermal ulcers that are recalcitrant to other treatments. This work subsequently lead to the formation of a start-up biotechnology company - Keracure, Inc.

The pharmacy profession is moving into the realm of advanced biotherapeutics. Developments in pharmacogenomics, gene therapy, and stem cells give the profession the opportunity to participate in individualized or personalized medicine. While there will be many opportunities for our pharmacy graduates, they will need to acquire new skills and knowledge that will challenge the traditional concept of the profession. This will provide them with rewarding careers helping to not only treat, but cure patients, with a variety of debilitating chronic diseases. I see my role as a facilitator for the students to learn and apply this knowledge.

I have been lucky to have been exposed to Medical education as well as Pharmacy education for over 20 years and wish at this time to invest in the education of my students. The role of pharmacists is changing rapidly and electronic transfer of information is hastening the change. I seek to prepare my students for the clinical roles that are moving from the medical centers to the “medical home.” I have precepted many pharmacy students and been able to engage the interest and curiosity of each by reviewing pharmaceutical care from a patient’s point of view. I hope to continue to stimulate students in developing an understanding of drug therapy and its nuances in the patients they will help throughout their professional careers.
